What has this blog devolved into? Just a fantasy wetdream of the cars we’d love to own? YES! That is mostly what it has been all along. This 911 Red Evolution by DP-Motorsport.de out of Deutschland is something exceptionally unique and special. One to be cherished, raced, and cherished further. And perhaps snuck onto the streets to catch the world’s rapt attention? Perhaps! A racer for the road, with an aircooled and barely muffled race engine to boot. Details of this very special 911 are included below the gallery. Favorite details have to be the seamless widebody, insane grip and …

Driving the incredible Land Cruiser for a week is a major dream-come-true for any car reviewer. So legendary! So rare! Practically speaking, Land Cruiser is also a test of skills to describe – and do this unique machine justice. But all the while? A huge grin on my face and a major thrill to accept this challenge. What makes Land Cruiser so special? For one, it sits proudly atop the Toyota hierarchy in terms of pricing. This is the most expensive Big T by far. Continuous production since 1951 is evidence of enduring appeal. And sure, Land Cruiser’s worldwide acclaim …

Dodge brought out the big guns for the recent Midwest Auto Media event at Road America racetrack. Their two new sluggers left the crowd in awe! The SRT Durango was a surprising arrival — considering it has never been seen in real life to date. The huge news with this monster-V8 SUV is that its tires are simply massive. Taller than you might expect and wider than most true performance cars — these Pirellis are critical for putting so much power to the ground. Dodge promises performance to wallop the Yukon Denali and even out-handle the SRT Grand Cherokee. But the …

Here is an eye-popping exotic. A car that many would rank number one among the most famous vehicles ever made. The Type 57 Bugatti came in Atlantic and Atalante forms, with this prototype being the third ever produced in 1935. And one of just three survivors from production, no less. This example is special for more than just its exquisite design. That is something else, however. Smooth fenders without the rivet seam are plush, but the shrouded back wheels and “faux cabriolet” roofline are what prove give the Atalante such glamor from all angles. This pert little notchback of a …

Sea green over red leather is a color combo perfect for the most stylish 1950s bon-vivants of the world. This original 507 Series I is offered unrestored and with original patina throughout. The factory wheels and bumpers are included with the sale – set for late May 2017 in Villa Erba, Italy. The black hardtop and hood-mounted mirrors are perfect details for this iconic BMW. This color is not a factory shade, as it was added early in the car’s life by its orignal owner. Just four lucky individuals have called this car their own, however, and its originality is …

Check out the most intriguing hyper-hatch in ages! Here is a 306HP turbo to the front wheels — making it the fastest Honda of all time! The engineering upgrades list to manage that power is long…. but majors on grip and adjustability. Drive modes and adjustable suspension will give supreme control. We absolutely crave its exterior design. It is so massively aggressive. So carefully modified for the track. You can sense that none of this body addenda — like the giant front splitter or artful rear wing — is there for looks alone. This is a purposeful car that came to …

Just parked up on the lawn in front of the Mercedes stand! Read into the details of W194 number 7 and you quickly learn this exact car won LeMans. Impressive! Of course, this tanker aero design hides a Super Light alloy spaceframe with giant structural sills. Escape was via the future-icon gullwing doors. This car went on to race at the Nurburgring and as a timer in the Carrera Panamericana. 1952 Mercedes-Benz W194 Number 7 Tom BurkartTom Burkart is the founder and managing editor of Car-Revs-Daily.com, an innovative and rapidly-expanding automotive news magazine.

This Group 5 rally racer won the WRC championship in the silhouette category for two years running for 1980 and 1981. It was a bleeding-edge technological showpiece that ran a carbonfiber chassis and part-kevlar bodywork. Great to meet this stunner at the Amelia Island Concours 2017, where it actually lives locally in the stunning collection of John Campion. We had the pleasure of seeing its home garage before the concours and almost had to sit down from excitement. So much Martini Racing and so many authentic Lancia race-winners! The Beta Monte Carlo turbo’s most dramatic angle and aero needs came …

Infiniti has adopted the design and sports credentials of the Prince marque from its glory days of the 1950s and 1960s. The firm is best known for creating the Skyline and was acquired by Nissan in 1966 — the same year a pair of these stunning, magnificent beasts took one-two in the Japanese Grand Prix. It was a pride match for the locals in Japan. Porsche 904s and 906s beating Skyline front-engine racers on Japanese tracks that inspired the entire vehicle. Mid-engine endurance racer. With a 1964 Brabham spaceframe to start from, the company crafted its ultra-shrieking straight six making 200 …
